Coming Out Stories from Algoma

Our Chapter’s website features 26 coming out stories by LGBTQ youth and their parents living in the Sault Ste. Marie area and Algoma District. Each story reflects the writer’s own experience and is told in their own words. Names appear in the some stories at the writer’s request, but most stories do not include specific names or dates.

The presentation of these stories is meant to provide inspiration to anyone in the process of ‘coming out’ and to emphasize the fact that family support makes a world of difference to young people struggling with their gender or sexual orientation.
